Outside of the Busch Stadium when I was a kid, my family made small talk with an old man & I showed my baseball cards of the current players I had gotten autographed that day. I did not know until afterwards that he was Stan the Man. He had the good fortune of playing in a great baseball city, but playing in the Midwest in the 50's & 60's meant you got overlooked. Great guy & one of the best players ever.

Has anyone mentioned Al Simmons as an underated HOFer? His cards are rarely overpriced. Look at the stats. He wasn't Musial, but most people have never even heard of him.
